Context
National shares of annual fossil CO₂. China, the US, and the EU dominate the grid — but per-capita stories differ.
Global fossil CO₂ shares rounded to 1,000 cells (2023).
This grid fixes fossil CO₂ emissions at 1,000 equal cells (0.1% of fossil CO₂ emissions). Figures follow OWID — CO₂ emissions as summarized in the source line — rounded so cell counts sum to the chart.
